            <h3>Description of The Games People Play: Gin ∙ Cribbage ∙ Checkers ∙ Backgammon</h3>
            <div class="gameDescription dscr">
            <p><em>The Games People Play</em> is a lackluster collection of two card games (Gin and Cribbage) and two board games (Checkers and Backgammon). Clearly Software Toolworks wanted to market the game as a "premium" title, touting numerous features and endorsements. For instance, from MobyGames game entry:</p>

<p>"Gin and Cribbage offer supposedly personality-based A.I. advisors and opponents. The checkers program is endorsed by the American Checker Federation and includes official play rules such as 2-move and 3-move openings. The backgammon game has four variations of play (Traditional, Acey-deucy, Dutch, and Plakoto)."</p>

<p>Unfortunately, these features cannot make up for the fact that none of the games in <em>TGPP</em> is particularly challenging. I was able to beat the computer opponent in all 4 games fairly consistently - the AI is a far cry from a decent one in Software Toolworks' own <em>Chessmaster</em> games. Since AI is the most important aspect of a good board game, <em>TGPP</em> leaves a lot to be desired.</p>

<p>Recommended only if you are a novice to these games and prefer to learn the games rather than finding a tough opponent to beat.</p>
